Workshop Equipment Loan Program

FOTODYNE'S Educational Products Division has established a program for the loan of equipment to workshops or instructional programs dedicated to training teachers in recombinant DNA and/or molecular biology concepts and techniques or high school AP Biology laboratory programs. These programs must include "hands-on" laboratory training using FOTODYNE equipment. Under special circumstances equipment may be loaned to qualified instructors who are planning programs that may lead to the development of workshops or training programs that would result in the purchase of FOTODYNE equipment and supplies.

Only major equipment (e.g., power supplies, gel chambers, microcentrifuges, transilluminators, etc.) will be loaned. Expendable supplies, reagents, and low cost equipment are not available for this program. The cost of package shipping and insuring loaned equipment to and from the workshop or training program will be assumed by the course organizer.

Individuals interested in borrowing FOTODYNE equipment will be sent a set of guidelines which outline the conditions for the loan of such equipment and the supporting information which must be supplied to qualify for the loan.

The Equipment Loan Program has become very popular, especially during the summer months. Since there are limitations on availability of equipment, we recommend that you reserve equipment early.
